'''Earphones''', also known as '''earbuds''', ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Fear Buds (comic story)|Fear Buds]]'') were a portable form of [[headphones]] fitted to the outer [[ear]]. Like headphones, earphones were primarily used for listening to audio [[privacy|privately]]. | |||
== History == | |||
While working for [[Saxon Master|Harold Saxon]], [[Dexter (42)|Miss Dexter]] used earphones to listen in on [[phone]] calls between [[Martha Jones]] and her mother [[Francine Jones]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[42 (TV story)|42]]'', ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'') | |||
[[Lucy Skinner]] listened to [[indie]] music with her earphones. She downloaded [[music]] from the bands [[Women of War]], [[Rain Green]], [[Giddy Nuisance]] and [[The Motorboats]] onto the computer at the [[Tycho Project]]. Her [[Nicholas Skinner|father]] told her off, and Lucy promptly took out her earphones and apologised. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Last Sontaran (TV story)|The Last Sontaran]]'') | |||
In [[2007]], [[C'rizz]] once attacked bystanders in [[King's Cross station]]. [[Luke Tillyard]], discovering that [[Charlotte Pollard|Charley Pollard]] was running from C'rizz, used the earphones from his [[MP3 player]] on C'rizz which rendered him unconscious. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Salva Mea (short story)|Salva Mea]]'') | |||
After [[Prisoner Zero]] escaped from an [[Atraxi]] extra-dimensional [[prison]], the Atraxi hijacked the electronics of [[Earth]] to broadcast a warning ordering Prisoner Zero to vacate or "the human residence will be [[incineration|incinerated]]". A [[Leadworth]] woman was confused when she heard the Atraxi warning through her music player's earphones. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'') | |||
When a plate-sized [[Virtual]] ship crashed in London in [[2011]], the Virtuals escaped by uploading themselves onto the [[internet]] via a music track called "''Alien Infiltration''". This caused several people who listened to it through earphones to enter into a trance and walk out into the streets until the [[Eleventh Doctor]] deleted the Virtuals from the internet server and sent them back to their own dimension. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Sound Bytes]]'') | |||
After being caught listening to music on earbuds at school, [[Ralph (Fear Buds)|Ralph]] used [[Mkali]] technology to send out a jamming signal to all other earbud devices. This interfered with the brain waves of his classmates, allowing Ralph to control them through their earbuds until the [[Twelfth Doctor]] intervened. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Fear Buds (comic story)|Fear Buds]]'') | |||
The [[C-Fish]] was a portable music player developed in the [[2020s]] which had tiny earphones. [[Jack Harkness]] stored a C-Fish X20 in a locker at [[King's Cross]] as a [[Time Agent]]. He retrieved it in [[1967]] when he was working for [[Torchwood Three]], just because he wanted to listen to some music. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Trace Memory (novel)|Trace Memory]]'') | |||

On [[Pete's World]], the [[EarPod]]s produced by [[Cybus Industries]] served as that universe's equivalent of the earphones of [[the Doctor's universe]], with similar functions such as allowing their wearer to listen to audio and communicate. Like earphones, the EarPods were also fitted to the wearer's ears. However, the EarPods were much more technologically advanced, also allowing their wearers to [[Daily Download|download information into their brains]] as well as serving as covert [[mind control]] devices. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rise of the Cybermen (TV story)|Rise of the Cybermen]]'', ''[[The Age of Steel (TV story)|The Age of Steel]]''), ([[PROSE]]: ''[[EarPod (feature)|EarPod]]'') | |||
In the [[Shadow World]], the [[Twelfth Doctor (Shadow World)|Twelfth Doctor]] used earphones to listen to an audio transcription of the ''[[Veritas (text)|Veritas]]'' text via a [[laptop]], which he could not read due to his [[blindness]] sustained at [[Chasm Forge]].
